Loved my ca vans simple to fix every thing available, at one time my dad had 8 in his fleet some bodies made locally some from smiths and a company in Crewe then we moved on to cf and transits as you may of fathomed out they where all ice cream vans thanks for a great trip down memory Lane to the Harry lime theme ha! 👍👨🏻‍🏭

[@madworksgarage]

8 sounds a it like me! Lol.. I have two smiths ice cream vans,check out my other videos, cheers buddy 👍

[@andyherbert3836]

Hello John, now that is fascinating, I’m so intrigued, it’s got hinged doors like a pickup, can’t wait to see more 😁

[@madworksgarage]

Well you won't have to wait long..new video by the end of next week..

Passed my driving test in a Bedford c.a in 1971 loved the 4 speed box, up and back for first away and down second etc, had to take the inside engine cover off a few times when she got hot, fuel line started playing up , we got rid after quite a few mouthfulls of petrol when sucking the fuel up from the tank, good memories, regards from Yorkshire

Intersting CA, it looks awesome, looking foward to episode 2, enjoy dealing with those wasps, oh and thise lovely fly eggs! Such an amazing find mate 👏

[@madworksgarage]

Thank mate, yes should be fun! 😆

[@ianburit3705]

TBH It looks like a pick up truck front end, an added bit behind that then a long wheelbase camper van all stitched to gether but nicely.. Off subject I once made a THAMES 15 CWT recovery truck by using a pick up truck frot and a van chassis stitched in with ramps/ recovery bed full length. that also worked out very well... Done the same with Transits a few years later..

Puddles ? Roadside lakes more like, sometimes incorporating council craters.

[@peakyparttimers9362]

Fantastic van. I will put my dad's ice cream van details up when i find them. Cheers.

[@madworksgarage]

I look forward to that, cheers

Rootes had two styles of 1725's, one was upright fitted in the Minx, Super Minx with a cast iron head, the Alpine, Rapier & Sceptre had aluminium heads, the Hunter/Minx (Arrow Range) had cast or alloy heads but they were fitted on a 10% angle so as to fit under the bonnet

[@mallyjoyplaneflighttv]

Enjoyed the video , looking forward to part two

[@madworksgarage]

Cheers buddy 👍

[@vwcol..7719]

Now that’s different John I’m looking forward to the follow up video..

[@TM-on4jl]

Enjoying this content....Brilliant channel....

[@marklittler784]

Thought there was something wrong with the camera lens until you pointed out it was extended, it would certainly be one well worth displaying at a show.

[@madworksgarage]

Yes I agree, still unsure what to do with it.. I may ask all of you guys?

[@marklittler784]

Yes dress for the task, it is rather like going to war 😂😃😂😃😃😂

[@madworksgarage]

Lol

[@edf6607]

thought you could try and get it up the hill going backwards using the starting handle...like in Ice Cold in Alex haha!

[@herefordshireregimentalmus8771]

UJ is a Shropshire registration so might be worth looking at old coach builders around there

[@tutsywutsy]

That's a replacement number issued by dvla . XUJ is a re registration that dvla use to replace when the original number is transferred to another vehicle.

[@ruebencover5795]

Nice one John 👍

[@seeburg]

Pegasus came to mind when I saw this so I have seen this or another at some time on the web. Hillman 1725 engiine fitted ?

[@madworksgarage]

Another? That would be interesting.

[@Joker_68]

Everytime I see you in that green jumpsuit mate I can't help but think of the similarities between you and Fidel Castro. Lol mate all in good humor.

[@madworksgarage]

😆

[@marklittler784]

Fidel Castro was surrounded by classics too. 😂😃😂😃😂😃
